I need to send out an email WITH an attachment to my partners (about 7,000). how can I best do this? when I did this MANY years ago there was a software that did it and only added one name to the "to" field at a time.
Now I understand that there are services that I should use instead like sparklist (which is used by sitepoint as a matter of fact) to send out their newsletter.
Is this expensive? easy? should it be used in my case?
Where is a good place to start (other links aside from sparklist are more than welcome)

1. do I upload my list of (lets say clients) somewhere?
2. do I do it all here at the office

Any assistance or pointing in the right direction would be VERY welcome.

It depends on some of the other details of your situation, but I don't think it would be a good idea to send out a regular old email with an attachment to roughly 7,000 people. All I can offer in terms of advice on the subject is that I know several people who use SparkList (I believe SP's own Tech Times newsletter uses it), and they all seem happy with it.
